Avengers Assemble babe Cobie Smulders says co star Scarlett Johannson could beat her in a fight

She's currently filming her role of Maria Hill in the eagerly awaited forthcoming threequel Iron Man 3, and Cobie Smulders who is best known for her role of Robin in TV favourite How I Met Your Mother has has joked that her Avengers Assemble co-star Scarlett Johansson could probably beat her in a fight.

Speaking to Women's Health she said "She could probably take me. I'm all legs and arms, but she's got a nice, low centre of gravity" when asked who is the more physically powerful.

Talking about what she does to keep in shape, Smulders added "I do Pilates because it's important for me to have a healthy back when I'm 70 so I'm not hunched over and in pain. That's more important to me than being thin."

Smulders has Stephen Gyllenhaal's Grassroots ready for release and is also filming her scenes as Jo in Lasse Hallström's Safe Haven and David Wain's They Came Together.
